Elle

He rescued me from certain death but refused to reveal his identity to me.

He told me he’s been watching me for years.

I should be scared.

But for some crazy reason, I trust him.

He’s in my room while I sleep, protecting me,

But I crave more.

I beg him until he gives me what I want.

Yet he still refuses to show me who he is.

He’s intoxicating.

I can’t breathe without him.

But he’s hiding something from me.

Even when I discover the truth,

I can’t keep away.

And then I learn that I’m pregnant.

Lev

I need to keep my distance.

Shes better off without me.

But she keeps forcing me closer.

She thinks she knows the truth.

But there’s so much more that I’m keeping from her.

She has no idea the danger she’s in,

or who I really am.

I’ll do anything to protect her,

because without her, I’m nothing.

He’s running from his past. She’s running from a crazy ex.

He has sworn off relationships. He won’t make the mistake of trusting another woman with his heart again.

So, when his sister’s friend needs help and his house gets volunteered without his permission, he’s livid.

He likes his privacy, and he doesn’t like feeling out of control.

And that’s what she does to him. She makes him feel out of control.

He’s never felt so physically drawn to a woman before, and he doesn’t like it.

He vows to keep his distance and fight this attraction.

But in such close corners, their connection proves to be too powerful to ignore.

What harm can having a little fun do while they’re stuck in his house together?

Running from him once was hard.

Doing it again will be impossible.

Especially once he finds out Im pregnant with his child.

When he learns the truth, Samuil whisks me away to his Scottish castle.

He says its to keep me safe.

But the bars on the windows say theyre there to keep me contained.

I want to hate him for locking me away.

But when his touch melts my resolve and his kisses promise protection,

I start to wonder if his prison might be the only place Im truly free.

Because the way he looks at me now—like Im carrying his whole world inside me—

Makes me want to believe in forever.

Problem is, forever might be shorter than we think.

Dark forces are closing in on all sides,

Led by his ex-wife and his own brother, who want to destroy everything Sams built.

I say, Let them come.

That day on the beach, Rufus knocked a stranger into my arms.

Now, Im carrying his heir.

Im commanding his castle.

And Im about to show his enemies

Why even the gentlest creatures have teeth.

Inked Athena is Book 2 of the Litvinov Bratva duet. The story begins in Book 1, Inked Adonis.

My BFF sent the hot stranger a voice note

Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree.

And he just. Texted. Back.

Its the dogs fault, really.

If this untrained Great Dane Im walking had any manners at all, I never wouldve ended up here:

With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man Ive ever seen.

Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it.

(Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.)

He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

Im still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk.

“Methinks you had a little crush on him,” she accuses.

Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, “I’d wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.”

THATS when she reveals that shed been recording my response.

THATS when she gives me the most devilish grin Ive ever seen and says, “Youre welcome.”

And THATS when she hands me my phone and reveals

She sent the recording to him.

My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appear…

Then a text.

“PROVE IT.”

Inked Adonis is Book 1 of the Litvinov Bratva duet. The story concludes in Book 2, Inked Athena.

She moved to the mountains in search of peace, instead she found the neighbor from hell…

Tessa moved to Devil’s Peak for a fresh start, but instead, she got him, the loudest, grumpiest mountain man alive. Finn–and his mischievous dog—have been the bane of her existence since she moved into the cabin next door. But when Tessa answers a mail-order bride ad hoping to find a life partner after heartbreak, she’s blindsided to discover that Finn is her “perfect match.”

Finn’s no stranger to hard work or solitude. Haunted by a painful past, he put out the mail-order bride ad for a no-nonsense wife, not expecting the infuriating and feisty, flower-loving nurse next door to show up and throw his quiet life into chaos. Their banter is sharp, their attraction undeniable, but Finn is certain a woman as vibrant as Tessa could never fit into his rough and lonely world.

When an unexpected emergency forces them to share a bed, their fiery clashes ignite into a scorching attraction neither can ignore. Sarcasm turns to sizzling chemistry, and Finn’s icy heart begins to thaw under Tessa’s sunshine. But just as love blooms, life throws them another curveball that threatens their fragile bond and Tessa fears she’ll lose everything—again. But what she doesn’t realize is that this growly mountain man has no intention of letting her go…

Beneath the dazzling lights and gravity-defying stunts of The Misfit Cabaret lies a world far darker—and far more seductive—than Evelyn ever imagined. Fresh off a painful past, the graceful aerialist arrives at the adult circus with a single goal: escape. But when the enigmatic Leo, the circus’s lead aerialist, offers to be her mentor, Evelyn finds herself drawn not only to the allure of the trapeze but to Leo’s intense gaze and skilled touch.

As Evelyn becomes entwined in the seductive underground society that thrives behind the scenes, passion and danger intertwine. Forbidden performances blur the lines between art and desire, testing the limits of her body and spirit.

The Aerialists Secret is a high-flying, sensual journey of passion, mystery, and self-discovery—a tale where desire is the ultimate act and every secret can be the one that changes everything. Will Evelyn dare to let go, or will the darkness lurking beneath the big top consume her whole?

She wanted a fresh start. He just wanted a dog-sitter. Neither expected a love as wild as the woods

Grady Stevens doesn’t need love. He needs a partner. A practical, no-nonsense wife to keep his rugged life in order and care for his aging black sheepdog while he spends his days deep in the forest, working as a brooding, solitary lumberjack. Inspired by his best friend’s successful mail-order bride story, Grady places an ad for his own bride. But what he gets is not what he expected.

Sarah Gerard is everything Grady didn’t ask for—and everything he secretly needs. A curvy, sunshiney schoolteacher with a past that’s left her bruised and wary, Sarah is seeking a fresh start far from the betrayal of her fat-shaming ex-boyfriend and toxic workplace. She’s ready to take on the wilderness, but she never expected her grumpy, older husband to be so…irresistible.

With a lazy, lovable dog at their feet, Sarah and Grady will have to decide if the life they’ve built together is worth fighting for, even as their pasts threaten to tear them apart.

The Lumberjacks Bride is a fun romp with a grumpy, ex-military, mountain man loner and his younger, sweet and curvy bride. The Mountain Mans Mail Order Bride series features rugged men, unexpected brides, and love as wild as the mountain winds that whip around Devils Peak.

Sam Hayes thought she’d moved on. It’s been eight years since Jess crashed into her life before slipping away, and four years since they tore each other apart for good. Now Sam’s within reach of her ultimate goal: selling her software company and proving herself in the tech industry. All she needs to do is integrate her software with a new financial firm, lock in the deal, and walk away with everything she’s worked for.

But on day one, everything unravels. The person overseeing the project is her childhood best friend—someone she hasn’t seen since her mother’s death. A living reminder of the life she barely managed to escape. And to twist the knife even deeper—that best friend just happens to be Jess current girlfriend.

Determined to stick it out, Sam forces herself to focus—until she’s dragged back into Jess’ orbit when they’re both caught up in the whirlwind of their mutual friend, Scarlett’s, wedding. Between dress fittings, late-night parties, and quiet moments that linger too long, Sam and Jess find themselves colliding once again, forced to confront the broken pieces of their past.

Now, with everything shes worked toward at risk, Sam must face what she’s truly willing to sacrifice—and whether a future with Jess is something she can hold onto, or something she’s bound to lose all over again.

This time, for good.

Holding the Guinness World record for the most prominent philanthropist globally　Tysons gift-giving is unmatched.

But what he really wants is to give his best friend everything her heart desires, and its the one thing outside of his control.

Felix

I’ve always been a helper. Someone who sees the world in a brighter light than others do. Who tries to show everyone there’s good in this world.

So when I meet Henry, I immediately make it my mission to show him how great the world can be if he’ll only accept a little help.

Easier said than done. But I’ve always liked a challenge.

Henry

I have no idea why this complete stranger wants to help my daughter and me. But I can’t seem to shake him.

Life hasn’t been kind to us, and I clearly don’t see the world the same way he does. I want what’s best for my daughter, though, and if that means accepting help from Felix, then that might be what I have to do.

No matter what my instincts scream at me.

I’ve been abandoned by everyone in my life, and that’s what I expect now.

But Felix seems determined to make sure I know I’m not alone.

Maverick

I’m the pro. Always professional, always mindful of the press, and always doing the right thing.

My life is flashy and chaotic. I’ve spent the past few years doing everything I was supposed to, including smiling pretty for the cameras while standing next to the world’s favorite popstar.

But now that’s over. I’m yearning for a simpler life. I love racing, but the fame part I could do without.

I want a life out of the spotlight, and I want something real.

Cooper

I’m a fan—how could I not be?

And not just a fan of racing. I can’t help but be swept up by the lives of celebrities. Wondering if they really have it so much better or if something is missing.

Now that Maverick isn’t just that hot racer I’ve followed for years and is instead my friend, I’m starting to see the answer.

We always want what we don’t have.

Rich and famous or poor and seemingly invisible . . . who actually has it better?

Where does true happiness actually lie?

Love can be deadly.

Everly’s cautious optimism for a normal summer shatters with the news of the dwarven prince’s murder. By order of the dwarf king, the mountain is immediately shut down, trapping Vena’s family inside along with the killer.

As Everly and her friends search for the truth behind the prince’s sudden death to free Vena’s family, tensions and passions rise, and Everly finds herself once again in a war for affection between Shepard and Cross. Not that being between two hot, alpha males is much of a chore…until Everly discovers why she was placed there.

All the clues point toward a terrifying truth–the vampires are out for blood, and no one is safe.

Death and Donuts is filled with laughs, steamy moments, unique dessert creations for creatures who have no culinary palette (Blood donuts? Gross!), and thrilling near misses in this new addition to the Ruin of Relics series.

Control. Diel has spent his entire life under it. His childhood years were spent in the sadistic captivity of the Brethren. Now the Fallen are free, but the monster that lives inside Diel is not—can not be. The darkness within is curbed by an electric collar, the only thing that stops Diel from killing everyone in his path.

Diel’s monster yearns for freedom—the freedom to tear apart Brethren priests, as many as possible, one after the other in a frenzied, liberating spree. When Diel is granted a taste of that freedom, he expects bloodlust, violence, death.

He didn’t expect to find her.

The Fallen are not the only ones chasing the destruction of the Brethren. They were not the only ones to suffer at the priests’ hands. This Diel discovers when he stumbles upon Noa, second in command of the Coven, a group of women who are intent on bringing the Brethren down.

From the second they collide, Noa seems to understand Diel in a way that no one ever has before. She is unafraid of his rage, the bloodthirsty monster that dwells within him.

Because there is a darkness inside Noa too, and it recognises the one in Diel as if it is the missing half of her soul. For years she has tried to suppress it, but as she is inescapably drawn to the fury-filled man in the collar, she starts to wonder if she can keep up the fight.

She starts to wonder if she even should…

Although she’s spent her life in the human realm, Iris has always lived in the shadows.

When the chance to escape presents itself, it seems too good to pass up. Even if it means traveling to another realm—a realm filled with mysterious monsters, no less.

Anything is better than this, right?

Damen is everyone’s favorite prince. Charming, funny, and quick to bring levity to any situation.

But everyone who’s close to him knows that Damen is capable of being so much more. Their opinions have never mattered too much to him before, because why make life hard when it could be easy?

Until he meets someone whose opinion is everything to him. Who has never had life easy. Who believes in him more than he believes in himself.

For Iris, there’s no obstacle Damen won’t face.

It’s Christmas! My favorite time of year. The smell of cinnamon and Christmas music are in the air. The beautiful lights. The Christmas trees. Maybe even a promotion. My hot as hell boss… wait. No. Scratch that last part. I hate him. Unless, of course, we’re in a stairwell. Or at the local bar. Or laying in his bed with nothing on but the Christmas tree lights illuminating his perfectly toned abs. NO. How am I supposed to enjoy my favorite time of year, get my promotion, AND not fall in love with the biggest grinch I’ve ever met?

Volatile　unable to hold fixed attention; tending to erupt into violence

Anastasia

Vitali was supposed to be a harmless arrangement that would keep her heart safe and satisfied. He’s all golden smiles and wicked charm, the kind of man who makes you forget your rules, your plans, even your name.

But Vitali isn’t just another pretty face in her curated world of high society. Behind the easy laughter is a dangerous edge, one that comes with a family who makes deals in blood and a past that’s far from clean. She knows better than to let someone like him in, especially when he sees right through her designer masks.

He makes her feel things she doesn’t want to feel—safe, wanted, seen. And yet, every time she pulls away, he pulls her closer. She’s supposed to be hunting monsters, not falling into the arms of one.

He’s everything she doesn’t deserve, and everything she can’t resist.

Vitali

Anastasia is his every temptation wrapped in a stunning, infuriating package. He doesn’t care about the walls she’s built or the secrets she keeps. What he wants is simple: her.

But she’s reckless—too reckless for her own good—and it drives him mad. She doesn’t see how much danger she’s in, chasing shadows and playing with fire. He should let her fall, but he can’t.

She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s already his. He’s not just her lover; he’s her shield and her hidden dreams come to life. If anyone or anything dares to hurt her, Vitali will burn the world to the ground to keep her safe. Even from herself.

She says she doesn’t want more. She says she can’t love him. But he’ll make her see the truth, even if it destroys them both.

But during my senior year, our relationship slowly changed. Silly conversations morphed into serious heart-to-hearts. Innocent friendship turned to stolen glances.

Then one day, an unexpected kiss changed everything.

While that kiss was all I’d ever dreamed of, it knocked Tor clear off his axis. His strong moral compass makes it impossible for him to accept our feelings for each other. Because, not only am I eighteen and fifteen years younger than him, I’m the one person he should never, ever want.

NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. ―Mgmt

Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat… er, out-of-evil-office.

But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs―Kingsley’s included―point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom’s magic, and it’s made The Villain’s manor vulnerable to their enemies… including their nemesis, the king.

Now it’s time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain’s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.

It’s time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It’s all so… so… delightfully fun.

But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

Elin, the Princess of Norway, never planned to become the country’s Queen – her twin brother, older by minutes, would be the next King. When her father decided to retire, and her brother abdicated to continue his career in the military service, Elin was thrust into being not only the next in line, but the new Queen.

Ingrid, the Princess’s Private Secretary, was happy for her sometimes nervous and often klutzy Princess ascending to the throne, but because of her lack of seniority, she was disappointed to find out she won’t be Elin’s secretary any longer. When the new Queen moves mountains to keep Ingrid on her staff, Ingrid begins to wonder why she’d do that.

The new Queen’s crush is close to being revealed, and the Secretary, who’s always been professional, cannot take her eyes off of the woman she’s worked with for years. While it might seem impossible, Ingrid also can’t stop thinking about the possibility of more with the woman who will now be Queen of Norway.

Lilith Kenny

Lilith has made her fair share of mistakes, but when she’s given another chance to live a life free of rules and commands, she’s determined to do it right. What she doesn’t need is Julian Bennington turning up again. He humiliated her once before, crushing her dreams of a possible future together. It would be a mistake to ever trust him again.

Julian Bennington

Julianis doing everything he can to right the wrongs of his past. His work with the FBI assuages some the guilt, but the demons still linger. Seeing Lilith again reminds him of the moment where he changed his life’s direction. This is his chance to prove to her that he has changed and he’s not the person she thinks he is. Can time spent together erase the mistakes of the past or is it too late?

The stakes rise when a new threat looms, one that could drag Lilith back into a world she’s trying hard to escape. Julian must use all his resources to save her and trust that Lilith hasn’t been sucked back into the world she’s tried so hard to escape.

Benny

Big Bend is my home. I love it here. I love everything about it.

It’s my senior year, and I’m determined to have the best one yet. Of course, that’s when life gets confusing.

I think I may have a little bit of a crush on my nemesis.

Something I never saw coming.

I just hope I can find a way to make him give me a chance because being together would make not only this year great, but this life of ours—absolutely epic.

Rowan

Benjamin McBride is the bane of my existence. He simply won’t quit—he never does.

He’s too happy. Too confident. Too unafraid.

I can’t let him get to me.

He thinks we could be epic together, that us in a relationship would be some saving grace—a Hail Mary—a way to make this year and our lives the best they can be.

But I’m not destined for happiness.

I have to make him understand . . .

It’s never going to happen.

But as my past sins catch up with me, Nikolai becomes more than just my captor. Beneath his cold exterior, I discover a man scarred by grief, driven by revenge—and willing to risk his empire and life to protect me.

A terrifying vision of a deadly future…

I’ve risked everything to save my brother and taken his place in the Black Guard, and now my vision of his death has changed. I’m the one who’ll be murdered.

I don’t know when it will happen, but I’m magically bound to the Black Tower and can’t leave. I also can’t turn myself in until my brother escapes the kingdom or my sacrifice will be for nothing… because once everyone knows I’m a woman, I’ll be punished and imprisoned.

My only hope is to survive the Guard’s grueling training and pray I’m strong enough to change my future.

But that isn’t easy. The other guardsmen are bigger and stronger than me and are determined to put me in my place, I have a growing attraction to the beautiful fae leaders of the Black Guard: the enigmatic Lord Commander Rider, the charming Lord Quill, and the alluring Talon.

To complicate matters further, I find myself inexplicably drawn to the fae garden each night, where a mysterious Fantasy Man awakens a passion I never knew existed.

Time is running out, and the stakes have never been higher. I must keep my identity a secret and become a warrior… because I’ve seen what happens if I fail.

Wyatt thought Avery was the root of all problems.

He thought wrong.

A shocking revelation has torn the Shadowed Souls apart, splintering them from within. Now fractured and facing unseen dangers, the remaining members are forced to make an impossible choice: search for Wyatt, their self-destructive leader, or protect the feisty ballet dancer they’ve all come to cherish—Avery.

Avery swept into their lives and captured their hearts, becoming the embodiment of everything these damaged men have always craved—a love to hold on to, a family to call their own. But as evil lurks in the shadows and emotions spiral out of control, loyalties will be tested. Who will thrive, and who will fall apart? One thing is certain—Nixon has a lot to answer for.

Quinn has no idea why a short trip to a small town turned into her moving there and buying an antique shop, but after five years of waiting, her answer walks right through the shop’s door.

Leaving the big city, Abby Brennon, a best-selling author, moves back home after looking for the quiet calm that comes from living in a small town but also something else that she can’t quite describe even to herself. When she walks into the antique shop and sees Quinn Jordan, things start to make sense.

A photo of two women from the 1930s inspires Abby to write a book about the two women in it, but the story doesn’t feel like fiction to her. That photo has both Quinn and Abby curious about its origin, and soon, they’re having visions of a shared past that feel so familiar, they must be real. Another photo of two other women brings about more visions, and it doesn’t take Quinn and Abby long to realize that these are visions of their past lives together.

Over centuries, they have found each other time and time again. They’ve fallen in love and passed that love onto the next version of themselves until they’re standing in that antique shop, wondering if they’re drawn to each other now because of their past, or if there is something real between them today.

I created a monster.

And she draws me in like a moth to a flame.

But she’s not my only affliction. There’s a war on the rise and I can’t focus on much else when my wife teeters the edge of self-destruction.

She quite literally lit my world on fire and I am trapped by the torment I’ve caused her.

I have never been afraid of the dark. But she is my gravest shadow and if I can’t help her back to step back into the light before time is up, we both might just drown in the darkness.

Of all the things that unravel in the kingdom: treason, betrayal, revenge, curses, and war . . .

My only hope is that I can survive my sweetest sin.

I live for revenge until the day I find out I’m a father.

My father is clinging to his life, and I’ve stepped into his shoes as the leader of the mafia.

I’m washing down my day with whiskey when the one that got away comes back into my life.

She’s as stunning as the day I met her, so I chase her out the bar and kiss her…

Sutton ran away from me once, but this time, she won’t escape my protection.

I used to be dangerous, but now I’m a leader, a kingpin. Dangerous doesn’t begin to cover it.

My life has a bloodstain on it, and it’s spreading.

Sutton had a good reason to run back then, but she never strayed far from my mind.

I never forgot our spicy night together, so I take her reappearance as an invitation… to stalk her.

Until I follow her home one night and find out the truth Sutton’s been hiding from me.

That day, I find out Sutton has a child.

The girl has Sutton’s face.

But her eyes instantly tell me she’s mine　a Burke. An heir to a mafia legacy.

And now, not even the little girl’s mother can stop me from making them my family… at any cost.

Jael’s freedom has always been an illusion.

Raised under the tight grip of a father who once exploited her for his illegal schemes, she remains his pawn as he continues to wield her as a tool for his strategies, even after leaving the underworld behind. Now, in order to cement his family’s legacy, he orchestrates a union between Jael and the new CEO of Heber Industries, Christopher Sisera, regardless of his daughter’s objections.

But while Jael’s future is being manipulated, the FBI has its own plans. Deputy Director Deborah Mills, leading a specialized task force, is determined to bring Christopher and his father to justice, despite their lethal reputation. When her best agent, Thomas Barak, refuses to embark on what he considers to be a suicide mission, she turns to Danny, a criminal with a connection to the Hebers who has helped her in the past. His task: infiltrate Jael’s life, earn her trust, and use the upcoming marriage to open a door for the FBI to dismantle the Sisera empire.

As Danny embarks on his assignment, his history with Jael blurs the lines between enemy and friend, and dangerous secrets surface, forcing a deadly confrontation that could cost Jael everything.

Boring. Quiet. Glum.

Meera has been called many things over the years, and for the most, they don't bother her. She'd rather be boring than draw attention to herself, because she knows exactly how dangerous the wrong attention can be.

But when a ghost from her past pops up to haunt her in her new life, Meera remembers what a powerful tool anger can be.

Sensible. Reliable. Steady.

Verner doesn't rock the boat, and he always tries to do right by everyone—especially the cautious but kind ex-Hunter he's trying to befriend.

My babys here.

Her fathers not.

And if I have it my way, well never see him again.

Because Matvey Groza stomped my heart to smithereens.

It went pretty much like this:

ME: I love you.

HIM: Im marrying someone else.

Im paraphrasing, but not by much.

Because some facts are undeniable.

Matvey got me pregnant. FACT.

Im just now starting labor. FACT.

But Matvey is nowhere to be found. FACT.

Because hes busy getting married

To the other woman he knocked up. FACT.

He said theres more at play than I could understand, but whats so hard to understand about that?

He swore hed be there for me, and hes not.

He said he loved me, but he doesnt.

So Im taking our baby and Im running.

Let him try to catch us if he can.

CASHMERE RUIN is Book 2 of the Groza Bratva duet. The story begins in Book 1, CASHMERE CRUELTY.

When is the worst time to tell someone he's going to be a father?

Probably the day of the wedding…

When he is getting married to someone else.

Well, that is exactly what I did.

But my hands were tied.

Literally.

Matvey Groza is a dangerous man.

And nine months ago, he strolled into my shop looking for a custom suit.

But when I accidentally walked in on him in the changing room,

*I* was the one that ended up needing a new set of clothes.

It was a one-time mistake.

After that… good riddance.

But the pregnancy test I took a month later had other plans.

I kept it a secret from everyone.

Or so I thought.

But when Matvey's enemies learned that I was pregnant with his child,

they kidnapped me and held me hostage.

Until I broke free and ran as fast as I could.

And I had no one else to turn to but the devil himself.

What better time for me to enter the church…

… than as the pastor says, “Speak now or forever hold your peace?

CASHMERE CRUELTY is Book 1 of the Groza Bratva Duet. The story continues in Book 2, CASHMERE RUIN.

A heroic, sworn bachelor risks his neck to save lives, but his heart needs a daring rescue.

Kerry likes his beer cold, his coffee hot, and sex without strings. Running an emergency response crew takes up most of his time, and he reserves the rest for his family. Besides, he's experienced enough heartache for two lifetimes and isn't looking for more misery. Kerry's carefully crafted peace shatters when he meets Keegan, a hazel-eyed hottie and his brother's new friend.

Falling for Kerry is a collision waiting to happen, but Keegan can't resist the heroic hunk's charm. Smoldering eyes and wicked grins tempt Keegan to go flat-out, even when he's barreling toward a dead end. Rejection is the last thing his newfound confidence needs, but the crash might be worth the risk if Kerry's there to give him mouth-to-mouth.

A crowded bar. A slow song. Months of mutual pining reach a fever pitch, and the invitation is out of Kerry's mouth before he can stop it. Three minutes. Two battered hearts. One dance that changes everything.

Brick by brick, Kerry and Keegan dismantle the walls around their hearts to build something beautiful together. But old habits die hard, and traumas are slow to heal. Their love will either be the most beautiful gift or the messiest mistake.

Welcome back to The Covenant!

When Del chooses Matthew's snowflake for a club twist on Secret Santa, what begins as a simple holiday game quickly escalates into a scorching encounter. Will a holiday fling turn into forever?

****Finding His Forever was originally a short story titled Secret Santa and part of the Christmas at the Club anthology. Over 12,000 words have been added and minor changes have been made to the original story.

After enduring years of torture from the vampire horde, Lachlain MacRieve, leader of the Lykae Clan, is enraged to find the predestined mate hes waited millennia for is a vampire. Or partly one.

An all-consuming desire . . .

Yet when an ancient evil from her past resurfaces, will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a proud warrior to his knees and turn a gentle beauty into the fighter she was born to be?

Holt Warner is the kind of man who laughs in the face of fear. As a legendary free climber, he's spent his life defying gravity—until a devastating accident grounds him. Now, he's trapped at Devil's Peak with nothing but regrets and scars that run deeper than the physical ones.

Lila Grayson is everything Holt isn't, a prim and proper city girl terrified of heights. She's a travel blogger just passing through Devil's Peak, but when her safe, structured world collides with Holt's rugged wilderness, sparks fly. He's determined to push her limits, both on the cliffs and off, while she's determined to unlock the man behind the rough-around-the-edges mask.

Can Holt let go of his past and grab hold of a future with Lila? Or will the danger of falling for each other prove more perilous than any mountain?

Walker

There are several principles of landscaping, but my favorite has always been simplicity.

I'm a go with the flow and keep it simple kind of guy. Always have been. Always will be.

It's how I do my job and how I live my life.

Of course, as luck would have it, it only takes one job and one indescribably hot stranger to change everything for me.

Because one thing Dutton Collins is not . . . simple.

Dutton

I should have sold the house. I shouldn't be here in the middle of nowhere Kansas.

My grandmother didn't care for me when she was alive, something she made sure I knew. So now I'm struggling to understand why she'd leave me her home and all her possessions when she died.

I miss the city and was heading back home, ready to give up, when Walker Murphy barreled into my life and complicated the hell out of it.

How am I supposed to leave this all behind when he's showed me the beauty in the simple life?

Curses. To believe or not to believe…

Violet Anderson believed.

How could she not when the proof was right in front of her? And her curse … well, it meant that, like her mother and older sisters, she was doomed to spend her life pining for a man who would undervalue her.

Not that she would allow that to happen. She'd never met a man worth pining for.

Then Simon Jennings walked into her bookstore. Aside from being hot enough to put her brain on the fritz, the man was not her type. He was one of those nice guys—the kind who opened doors and didn't try to cop a feel during a simple goodnight kiss. Since the curse ensured nice guys would never fall in love with her, Violet knew her best bet was to stay as far from him as she could.

Too bad Simon didn't get the memo.

When Simon's charm proves too powerful to resist, Violet gives in to the undeniable chemistry. After all, it's not like she would fall in love with a handsome stranger after one night, right?

While Violet is part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone.

What happens when a good little witch gets bored?

Well she becomes wicked of course!

Are you ready for magic, spells and spice?

Winter has never been able to keep a relationship for long.

After shes left at the altar for the third time, she begins to think maybe shes been cursed.

As the time grows and her loves leave, she becomes cruel, heartless, and hopeless

Well, until she has a vision about three mysterious men.

Can they handle her wicked ways, or is she destined to be a mean spinster for all of eternity?

My brother's girl… that's all Sutton will ever be to me.

I can't touch her.

I can't want her.

I can't have her.

I can't love her.

But I do.

Im in love with my brothers girl and now my life is pure torment.

My brother Rafe and I are twins. Fraternal, but we look so much alike most people think we're identical. Our father, Wolf, had a hell of a time raising us. We were a handful. Growing up, we fought over everything. That all ended the night I almost lost my brother. Since that horrible night, everything has changed.

Now I let him win.

Every single time.

Tonight, when we both meet the prettiest girl I've ever seen, it's harder than it's ever been to bow out. I'll do it though, because I'll forever feel guilty it was him in that alley that night and not me. It was just bad luck, everyone tells me.

But tonight—this one decision—changes everything.

Now she's his girl.

But I remember the smile she gave me when we first met, and how in that split second, if I'd done things differently, she could have been my girl.

But she's not.

Now she's my brother's girl.

And I'm in love with her.

Many years ago, the government used scientists to invent a device in secret, but the consequences of using it were too extreme. Some wanted it destroyed. Others wanted it out in the open.

When the device is discovered by Eliza, she sees into the mystery that's haunted her past. Now, not only does she have to decide if she's going to confront that past and solve the mystery of what happened to her father, risking her life in the process, but she also has to make up her mind if she's finally ready to tell her best friend, Lydia, how she feels.

Concluding that the device is too dangerous to fall into the wrong hands, Eliza and Lydia put it where it could never be found, at the bottom of the ocean, only it finds its way into the hands of Rosie, a marine archaeologist, years later. Suddenly, Rosie is faced with a decision of her own. Should she give her ex the second chance she's asking for or follow her heart in the direction of Felicity, who has been there for years without Rosie realizing that more could be between them?

With the device safely buried this time, Eliza, Lydia, Rosie, and Felicity leave thoughts of it behind, but when Violet discovers it in her backyard, she gets a vision of her distant future and the life she could have with a woman she's never met. When that woman shows up in her life, Violet still has to wait for her because Rachel might not be ready for them to explore what Violet saw.

Each woman's vision leads them to a chance at love they didn't know they were looking for, but it also puts them in danger because there are people who want the device for themselves. Others want revenge for what it has cost them. Can these women uncover the origin of the device and get their happily-ever-after at the same time?

The first time I set foot in Fire Chief Declan Everhart's small town he declared me trouble.

Maybe it's because I'm a pop star hiding in his house for the holiday season. Or maybe it's the way I can't help but tease the grinch.

More than likely, though, it's because his best friend Cade touched me right in front of him,

lighting a fire so hot it threatens to incinerate us all.

Now I can't keep my hands to myself.

Cade is famous for being the playboy assistant coach of the Boston Bolts, a man only out for a good time. But I know what we have is rare.

Cade wants me, Declan wants me, and Declan would be a bad liar if he didn't admit that some part of him wants Cade too.

Ive goneround and round about these feelings. Can we really just say the heart wants what it wants, or are we just asking for more trouble?

A Dayton High Boxset

Good girls want to tame them. Bad girls want to be tainted by them. Every girl loves a possessive bad boy who is only ever good for her, and that is exactly what you'll get in this unputdownable collection of three steamy full-length, standalone enemies-to-lovers romance books.

The Dayton High series includes: No Prince (an Amazon Top 5 Bestseller), No Good, and No Romeo.

NO PRINCE:

An AMAZON TOP 5 BESTSELLER!

Zepp Hunt wasn't the king of Dayton high school. He was the top of the food chain. And I was next in line to be dragged into the lion's den. At least that's what he thought…

Good girls wanted to tame him. Bad girls wanted to be tainted by him. Everyone bowed down to him. And me? I hated Zeppelin Hunt with every fiber of my being. Which was why I stayed away from the arrogant bad boy with tattoos and a rap sheet. Until I couldn't. Until we traded favors, and I owed him three months of my life.

I never thought I would end up in his bed, and when I did, I had to remind myself that he hated me as much as I hated him. Until I didn't.

Zepp Hunt was no prince, and I absolutely refused to be his damsel in distress…

NO GOOD:

It started off with a lie, and a one-night stand gone terribly wrong.

Although I knew nothing good would come from my encounter with Bellamy West, the small town's gorgeous bad boy, I didn't expect him to throw jet fuel onto the already flaming wreckage of my life. Then step back with a sexy smirk on his face to watch me burn. But burn I did

He got me fired. I got him arrested. We were enemies until we weren't. Until one touch went too far, and I found myself craving each dirty word. Every filthy promise. Bellamy West was no good, and I wanted to be bad. And for that, I paid

NO ROMEO:

To everyone in Dayton, Hendrix Hunt was the tattooed bad boy, the bully, the player. Guys hated and feared him. Girls wanted to tame him. And I just wished I could forget him.

Two years ago, Hendrix was my world. Then the taint of Dayton ruined everything, breaking us both with secrets and lies. I destroyed him and now he wants to destroy me

They say love is patient, that love is kind, but when love is broken it becomes filled with jealousy and revenge.

Hendrix Hunt was no Romeo. But unfortunately, just like Juliet, I was in love with my enemy.

She thought she could outrun her past. He never let go of their future.

When my boss starts harassing me at a work function,

I do the only thing I can think of;

I pretend cocky bratva pakhan Dimitri is my boyfriend.

It works. For a little while.

Then Dimitri suggests we take it one step further and ‘get married'.

My boss gets off my back,

Dimitri has an out of the arranged marriage with rival mafia boss, Massimo's, daughter.

It's a win, win.

Except getting married does nothing to scare off Giovanni.

If anything, it's made him more determined to harass me.

This isn't the first time he's taken things too far.

Last time, I wasn't so lucky.

Nobody knows about that night, and I intend to keep it that way.

Falling in love with Dimitri wasn't part of the plan.

Fletcher

I'm a total nerd, but I look like a jock. I had a perfect GPA in high school, and my GPA in college is perfect too. I smile when I'm supposed to smile. I have two loving parents and a brother and sister who are always by my side. I'm the perfect all-American guy.

But the only thing that actually defines me is the before. The things I keep hidden deep inside because I'm too afraid of losing what I have now.

The past lives deep inside me as I force the plastic smile on my face. And no one sees through it because I'm just that good.

No one except . . . him.

Ronan

Every day is like a dream. A dream I live, not knowing when I'll wake and find I'm still living in a nightmare.

I never made it out, and these past few years have all been fake.

Then he walks into my classroom . . . with that cocky smile in place. Not a care in the world. I doubt he's ever had to worry about a thing in his entire life.

He's exactly like all of the entitled, spoiled brats I teach every day in my part of the college campus, but something about Fletcher Moore really rubs me the wrong way.

I shouldn't let him get to me, but something about him makes me too angry. Too annoyed.

Just too damn . . . hostile.

As if that weren't enough, the three leaders of the Black Tower are beautiful fae, men who are as enticing as all the minstrels' tales say, and they have far too much interest in me as the newest sacrifice.

I cant let them know the truth. I have to keep up my desperate disguise until my brother can bring our stepfather to justice, or I'll have doomed both of us.

“You're going to help me settle a bet.”

That's what I was told as I was ripped from my bed by my ankles and dragged to Hell through a portal in the middle of my bedroom by a DEMON.

That demon? One of the Seven Deadly Sins!

Now I'm stuck being their test subject….

Is it wrong that I'm not all that upset by it?

Not all fur is friendly.

When one of the toughest shifters in D.C. disappears, Everly knows the vampire infestation is serious. To find her best friend's love interest and prevent her from going rogue and making things worse, Everly enlists Cross's help. After all, who better to rescue a wolf from vampires than the deliciously handsome vampire who loves kissing her forehead and waking her in bed?

Cross is more than willing to intercede on Everly's behalf, especially if doing so annoys Shepard. However, both must put their competitive feelings aside when they realize the vampires aren't just looking for their next meal. They're starting a war, and only by working together will the group be able to stop what's coming.

With centuries of deep-seated hatred, cooperating won't come easy.

Archer Stiles has always dreamed of a career in music. As a joke, he writes songs in response to Alison Quick's for her biggest fan, his sister Juliet. When one of his songs goes viral, his life is completely flipped upside down. Alison's manager invites him to go on tour with her. There's only one problem. Alison hates him. He knows that his departure from the tour is inevitable, so he recruits Alison's best friend Willow to help him stay on her good side.

As Alison and Archer spend more time together, they quickly realize those feelings of hate and loathing may be something else entirely. As their relationship grows, it seems too good to be true. Especially because Alison is hiding something from Archer. She decides that she either needs to let Archer completely in at the risk of rejection or call things off before he can hurt her. Will this lovestruck pop star keep holding everyone at arm's length or will she finally choose the love she's been writing about for years?

Leaving my abusive husband was hard. Attending the funeral of my murdered sister is harder.

Especially when I find myself face-to-face with a stern Iron Outlaw biker holding a baby he says is my niece.

Until Jackson ‘Halo' Flynn offers me a deal that sounds too good to be true.

If Mikhail Novikov hadn't burst in to save me.

and stole me away from my happily ever after.

and I don't know how to tell him.

He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago. Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.

He was only supposed to be a faceless fantasy.

A masked man from the app to enact my darkest, most depraved impulses with.

But I played games with the wrong stranger, and caught the attention of a psychopath.

Because Kratos Drakos isn't just Greek Mafia royalty. He's not just lethally powerful, physically massive, and dangerously gorgeous.

I've seen what lurks beneath his mask: a beast with a primal taste for chasing, catching, and corrupting.

Now, to stop a mafia war, I'm being wed to that very monster.

But the deeper I'm drawn into Kratos' twisted reality, the more I realize one thing:

The most dangerous game you can play with a psychopath isn't running away.

It's falling for one.

Samkiel strives to heal, but he has more on his plate than ever before. The Hand is dismantled, the realms are in turmoil, and the one person he can trust keeps him at arm's length. Can the two work out their differences, or will they both fall to the blade of the Goddess of War?

Teresa Carter

Investigative reporter Teresa takes her job seriously. She's no stranger to the hazardous nature of her occupation, but this latest story has even her boss turning his back on her. A story he encouraged her to pursue.

Danger is lurking everywhere, waiting to strike even when she's in her own home. Teresa can't do it alone and needs help, except she doesn't know who she can trust.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures and her last hope is to turn to her high school crush—someone she hasn't spoken to in years and hope Angelo remembers her.

Angelo ‘Angel' Donatello

The last person former SEAL Angel expects to hear from is a woman he had limited conversations with during high school. Yet the moment he hears the fear in her voice, his protective instinct kicks in and he will do whatever she needs to keep her safe.

The woman standing in front of him ignites a long-buried desire, one he'd ignored in his youth but can't ignore now. Nor does he want to. Now he has her under his roof, he's not going to let her go, especially since her life is under further threat.

Even with every safety measure in place, nothing can stop the man who wants her gone and when she's taken, Angel will stop at nothing to get her back.

There are only a few rules I live by: enjoy life, smile as often as possible, and don't ever let a woman come between friends.

Oh and hockey is life.

For the past forty years I've done an excellent job at every single one of them.

Until Millie Hall.

To be fair, I had no idea who she was that first night. Can't say the same about the second.

Finding out that the mystery girl who turned my world upside down was the twin sister of my star left winger and my best friend's twenty-two year old daughter is less than ideal.

Hiding our relationship from not only her father but my brothers, nearly impossible.

But my best friend makes it incredibly difficult to walk away from his daughter when he keeps thrusting her in my direction.

As a single dad, I have a whole set of new rules, but one thing remains, falling for Millie Hall would be a major puck up.

They say playing with fire is dangerous, but with ten men like these, I'm ready to ignite.

Back in my hometown to investigate an arson case, I never expected the sparks to fly in more ways than one. It's my first time back since my mom's death tore my life apart, a past I vowed to leave behind.

As I work closely with these ten smoldering firemen, their magnetic pull is hard to resist, and I'm struggling to keep my cool with every second that passes.

Paolo, our fire chief, really knows how to heat things up with those smoldering glances and his rugged, commanding presence. Cohen's got that roguish charm and those deep, enticing eyes that just pull you in.

Then there's Garette and Gabe, my old high school rivals, now irresistibly tempting with their muscular builds and playful, teasing grins. Matty spices up the mix with his bold flirting and cheeky winks, hinting at fun adventures.

Kit and Kieran, my childhood besties, always bring a calming, deep connection that's as soothing as it is intense. Tobin keeps things intriguing with his mysterious aura, drawing me closer with every encounter.

Jae, with his striking good looks and witty charm, totally steals the scene, while Angus, reliable and strong, offers a comforting embrace that's both protective and thrilling.

As tension simmers into an inferno, the flames of passion threaten to devour us all.

Little did I know, I'm about to uncover a truth about my mom's death that is more shocking than anything I could have imagined.

Can love conquer the darkness that surrounds us, or will we be consumed by the secrets we uncover?

Aspen Ashley had been a beach volleyball star on the court for years now, but due to an issue with a previous partner, this was her first real shot to represent the US at the Olympics. She would let nothing stand in her way this time, and that included her new neighbor, who happened to be the sideline reporter she was interviewed by after nearly every tournament.

Kendra Bowie finally bought her first house and wasn't expecting to find Aspen living in the one next door, but the proximity to her favorite player and longtime crush gave Kendra a chance to let go of her past little by little and move toward a future when she discovered that Aspen might just feel the same way she did.

As Aspen attempts to make the Olympic team while also falling in love, Kendra worries that she might not be able to let go of everything holding her back, and it might cost her Aspen if she doesn't.

He'll break every law known to man to keep her safe…

Static

As a lawyer and prospect in a motorcycle club, I walk the line between two worlds.

But when I met Gwen, a single mother with a heart of gold and a past full of pain, everything started to change.

I no longer care what side of the law I'm on, I'll do whatever it takes.

I'm not just fighting for my club, but also for the woman I love and the children I want to protect with every fiber of my being.

With a corrupt district attorney threatening to destroy everything, and past events making Gwen shy away from me, can I hold it all together?

Protecting my family is my number one concern, but when you're fighting memories, you can't always win.

Gwen

I thought I'd never trust another man after what my ex-husband did to me.

But then I met Static.

How can I protect my heart when I want to hand it to him on a silver platter?

We've been dancing around one another, but I know my time to decide is growing short.

He's proven he cares and will protect me and my children at any cost, yet I'm torn.

Can I trust my intuition? Can I really trust him?

As the danger around us grows, I'm forced to confront my deepest fears.

Will my inability to let go of the past destroy any future we may have?

Elijah Gray didn't want to end up back in Moonlight Falls, but when he's sent to the spooky small town as part of his magical research, he has no choice but to return home.

Parker Hayes is Eli's brother's best friend. He's older, a powerful magical practitioner, and a pillar of the Moonlight Falls community. Eli has known Parker for years and isn't sure why it feels like he's never seen Parker properly…

Until now.

Eli has always considered himself straight, but he's flustered around Parker. He's noticing Parker in ways straight guys don't usually think about other men.

He wants Parker but will never act on it. Something casual with his brother's best friend would be a mistake, and anything more would mean accepting life in a town he can't wait to escape.

All Eli has to do is ignore his new, confusing desires until he leaves Moonlight Falls. But every casual touch from Parker feels like a revelation, and Eli can't help wondering if letting himself fall would be so bad.

Titus Hawthorne knew that he was going to marry Noel Allen. Sure, they had to sneak around because her family would lose their minds if they knew, but it would only be a few years before she was free of them. His older brother had married her older sister, so it was possible.

Neither of them expected for their world to be flipped upside down when Noel is forced to move to away.

Titus waits, just like he'd always planned. But, when years go by and Noel's 18th birthday passes without a word from her he has to accept the fact that she isn't coming back. He tries to move on and on most days, he can lie to himself and say he's succeeded.

Until six years later when a phone call in the middle of the night changes everything.

One night. Rough, dirty, and so hot, it was a wonder the barn didn't burn down from the heat they generated.

If Stone Jameson were writing a letter to his younger self, it would go something like this: Don't waste time leaving. You have everything you'll ever want already.

Unfortunately, Stone didn't have the ability to warn his younger self, nor could he get the last fifteen years of his life back. He could, however, return to the last place he'd experienced real happiness—his hometown of Coyote Ridge.

It takes mere days for him to realize that all the years he spent trying to forget the night that had altered his perception of himself were in vain. It takes a single glimpse of what he left behind to bring it all back: the potent attraction, the intense connection, and the longing permanently etched in his soul.

Getting absolution for his mistakes might be impossible, but when a second chance presents itself, Stone knows that determination and persistence are the only tools he needs to build the solid foundation he's seeking.

Romance novelist Sylvan Jones is a ‘good' girl.

She's hearts, flowers, unicorns, sprinkles, glitter, and happily ever after endings. She couldn't be bad if she tried.

Information-Specialist TB is a ‘bad' boy.

He's kidnappings, interrogations, disappearing bodies, executions, and who knows what else. He couldn't be good if he wanted to.

Good plus Bad equals Trouble.

TB and the rest of the team are hired by a Silicon Valley tech mogul to find his daughter, the fifth girl who has gone missing after a night at a local club. Now it appears that Sylvan may be the abductor's next target. It isn't long before TB realizes she's hiding something, so the interrogator is going to do what he does best: secure the information. But forcing them together has consequences, and soon Sylvan and TB must decide if their differences will be what makes it work out between them, or if the secrets they are keeping from each other are bad enough to tear them apart.

With the stakes this high, are Kai and Waters good enough to figure out what's going on without falling for each other in the process?

Trigger Warning: This book contains a violent assault. Content throughout is for mature readers.

Marrying her was my duty. Falling for her was my undoing…

It was my idea to kidnap the daughter of my father's rival.

In my defense, I never expected that marrying her would be a part of the plan.

But my father's word is law, and since my brother is too old for her, I must be the one to take on the job. Never mind that I'm ten years older than Bree myself, and forcing a mafia princess to say “I do” at knifepoint was not exactly my idea of a fairytale wedding.

Now, I have a 21-year-old wife who hates my guts and keeps plotting revenge at every turn.

The fact that she's also witty, kind, and sexy as hell? That's a complication that starts to mess with my head.

I am no idiot.

I know that falling for the daughter of my enemy is a bad idea. But I want her enough to risk ruining it all…

The town's matchmakers are certain Cedric and Gage are fated mates, but their attempts to bring them together don't go as planned. Unlike their previous successes, there's no immediate spark, leading them to doubt their matchmaking abilities.

Carson

I'm the Rookie. That's how they want to label me. The new guy.

But I'm damn good at what I do. I don't have anything to prove.

Except maybe to him.

I've watched his career for years. So yeah, maybe I want to impress him a tiny bit. But I also can't help riling him up and ruffling his feathers.

He wants me to do things his way, but I don't work like that.

I may be the Rookie, but I'm about to school the Ace.

Brayden

I'm the Ace. I know what I'm doing, and I can't stand arrogant newbies who come in, thinking they know it all.

The kid is good, I'll give him that. But he has a lot to learn.

I'm the Ace around here, the one everyone goes to when they finally realize they don't know it all. And the Rookie is about to learn why.

In a world where it feels like they're the only ones who don't know where they belong, can Tallulah and Evrin find that sense of home in each other?

Or will they be too afraid to take a chance?

A cat burglar. The billionaire boss of the Russian mafia. A heist. One possible outcome: a deadly attraction that could cost them everything.

I could never have guessed I would end up in this situation.

Since the night of our one-night stand, there were countless instances when I was too weak to stop fantasizing about Nik, but I never imagined he would kidnap me and chain me to his bed.

Well, that's not true.

After all, I had longed to be completely at his mercy again on more than one occasion. But my daydreams had been much, much different.

For starters, my fantasy man was nothing but the sexy-as-hell, passionate lover I had assumed he was. He was just Nik.

No last name, no dark background.

I didn't expect him to be my latest mark.

I certainly didn't think he could be Nikolai Stefanovich, the ruthless pakhan of the Russian bratva.

I thought my troubles with the stronzo were the worst thing that could ever happen to me, but my life has just become much more complicated.

There are now not one, but two mafia bosses who have vowed to own me.

And I may be capable of turning the tables on the Italian mobster, but I'm not foolish enough to believe the same about Nikolai.

The Russian inspires fear in the likes of men I've learned to dread.

And I have brazenly taken from him his most prized possession.

A damsel in distress. A dark knight. Will love conquer all?

I'm lucky Ive won our battle of wills, but the war between us is far from over.

Kat has agreed to my demands for now. But if I had to guess, I'd say she's probably saving her energy for a later fight—one she can actually win. I just know we will have many, many more battles in the foreseeable future.

Even though I hold her life in my hands, the little thief challenges me every step of the way, and I just can't wait to force her into submission—slowly and repeatedly.

Kat is a complication—an unavoidable one since I need her help with my plans. But I can't decide if she is my salvation or my doom.

If only I could ignore the powerful, almost gravitational pull I feel towards her…

There are important, life-and-death matters that demand my full attention. The future of my bratva is up in the air and the threat of war with a rival boss looms ahead.

Will this spark between us turn into a flame, or will our tangled web of secrets consume us both?

Now, we're here on the mats of one of the biggest competitions of my life.

Lives hang in the balance.

Hearts wait in a line.

But this time, we're not giving up.

This time, I'm not alone.

With my guys by my side, I'm coming for you.

It's time to raise ‘em up!

Nick had a rule. No dating within the pack.

Chloe was off limits, but she was also the only girl he couldn't resist.

When Chloe's affections for Nick were reciprocated,

she thought she had finally won over the guy of her dreams.

One night brought them together.

Betrayal tore them apart.

But the universe had other plans.

I played games with the wrong stranger.

Tall, powerful, and lethally gorgeous, Drazen Krylov is the ruthless boogeyman the Bratva world fears.

He's also the masked man from the app whom I unknowingly shared my darkest, most depraved urges with.

Now the fantasy has become a nightmare.

Drazen says I did terrible, unforgivable things.

He says I owe a debt, and I'll pay the price by pretending to be his dead wife.

I look just like her.

The thing is, I might be her…

My past is an amnesia haze of blank memories.

My future is in his hands.

My name is Taylor Crown.

At least, so I've been told.

And I may have married a monster.

Now, I need to remember why.

It's my one chance to vibrate my way into her guarded heart, but there's one problem: her father is one of my company's most influential clients, and he thinks I'm up to no good.

I should be focused on maintaining the professional relationship that is crucial to Badden Apparel's success, but instead, I find myself toying with the line between having a little fun and falling hard.

Jade thinks I'm a bachelor who wouldn't know commitment if it hit me in the face, but little does she know I'd give up everything for her.

One fortuitous night at a local hangout changes everything and the two embark on what is supposed to be a casual thing. Only Freddie soon comes to learn that there's more to Elijah than what meets the eye and she finds herself bewitched by his charms.

Now, as if it can't get any worse, I'm not sold. I'm gifted to a Bratva lieutenant who doesn't even want me. A man more despicable than any I've ever known. A liar. A manipulator. An arrogant, tactless, narcissist too selfish to ever care for anyone but himself.

But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs―Kingsley's included―point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom's magic, and it's made The Villain's manor vulnerable to their enemies including their nemesis, the king.

Now it's time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain's lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.

It's time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It's all so… so… delightfully fun.

But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

Bianca

I thought I was late for my cousin's wedding,

but the wedding turned out to be for me

If I'd known the sexy arrogant guy in the elevator was my future husband,

I probably would have turned and ran.

My own father sold me out, promising my hand in marriage to Alexei Koslov,

a sexy, arrogant bratva boss.

The last thing I want to do is get married,

but nobody says no to the Koslov bratva.

My father's been controlling me for years,

I won't take it from my husband too.

I want to hate Alexei and all he stands for,

but the more I get to know him, the harder I fall.

But this marriage is just business for him.

I'm a means to an end.

Until I fall pregnant…

Alexei

Its supposed to be a business transaction,

A marriage in exchange for intel on an enemy.

I expect my wife to obey me, to follow orders.

Instead, I get a firecracker who is determined to make this arrangement as difficult as possible.

I have no interest in falling in love with Bianca,

But before I know it, shes all I can think about.

Suddenly Im doubting everything I thought I knew about myself…

A broken, twisted girl, her fairytale in ashes.

Three players in the game, their pawn in a gilded cage.

I didnt know why they had brought me back or what they wanted from me. They should have let me die in that room of pain and shame, but instead theyve hidden me away, kept me under the attentive eyes of dangerous men unaccustomed to the likes of me in their midst.

I was sure my useless bodyguard and father-in-law never expected me to become attached to the ambitious, damaged, and unhinged men they stashed me with, but I was no longer concerned with what they thought of me.

Free of the monster Id married, I planned to live my life on my terms… until it was made clear I was expected to honor my obligations or face the consequences. No matter which way I chose, my life wasnt my own. I wasnt sure it ever had been, or if it ever would be.

Jess Killian loves two things in her life—dance and Finn Spelling. A chance encounter with Finn had her hoping for the future she'd dreamed off, only to have Finn to ghost her after giving her the best kiss of her life. Heartbroken she pours everything she has into her dance and cemented her place in her dance company. Yet the hurt from Finn's silence led her into a situation that put her life in danger. A danger she battled and won. Everything is going to plan until Finn shows up backstage at one of her shows and all those feelings she believed dead, are brought back to life.

Walking away from Jess had been one of the hardest things Finn has done, but he'd had his reasons. Those reasons were forgotten the moment he'd walked into the theatre and saw Jess's face on a poster. Then he saw her dance and everything fell into place—she was his, but convincing her of that was going to be a challenge. Jess didn't want anything to do with him and he couldn't blame her. Not after the way he'd turned his back on her. Giving up wasn't in Finn's vocabulary and he wasn't going to let it enter it now. He'd show Jess that they were meant to be.

When it appears that Jess is the target of someone's wrath, Finn goes into protector mode. He isn't going to let anything happen to her and keeps her close. Only he can't always be beside her and when the unthinkable happens, Finn is ready to burn down the world and make the ones who hurt Jess pay.

He's just walked straight into the ugliest, most confusing case of his twenty-year career.

Carlotta and her husband William both have reason to want the nineteen-year-old Candy Xavier victim dead.

Can Del Rey unravel the truth before the real killer strikes again?

Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud and the love of my life.

She's also my ex-girlfriend.

The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. But third time's a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials–there she was again.

Obviously, I did what any smart man would do–I called off the wedding.

I fell for it… fell for him.

But he lied. Just like the rest of them did.

He used me for his own good.

Masked my darkness with a bloodlust I couldn't control.

But I craved it. I envied it.

He made me stronger for it.

And not even my beloved King stood a chance.

You see, he may be the most powerful, murderous night stalker the world has ever known, but didnt they ever tell him?

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?

Till death do us part, my love.

Of gold that gleams, of silver that shatters,

A realm of mortals, a world full of shadows.

A gift bestowed, a time that is borrowed,

A seed must be sowed, a strike to be sorrowed.

Unveil the smoke to a world that is cloaked,

Near a well at the end sits seven streams to defend.

Nine trees of wisdom and the darkness of light,

Chaos will come for all those that fight.

A true death and a love that is bound,

By fate and fortune and all nine realms.

Taint and trials, cruelty and lies,

The Gods must fall before all can rise.
